Hi,
Today, I found out that my servers were running at 100 FPS/tickrate. After
checking, I found out that -tickrate has been added back with the latest
TF2 update. I thought the plan was to have all servers run at a tickrate of
66. Why has the command line option been added back?

Perhaps in order to allow running lower tickrate servers for MvM (to reduce
CPU usage).
It seems they are going back on the plan to have all servers run at 66 now.
Look at DODS and CS:GO.

Very simply: FPS stands for Frames per Second. The server sends messages to
the clients at a regular interval with information about position of
players, who died, and all that stuff. The higher FPS your server has, the
more messages it will be able to send out about peoples' positions.
This is no
If you start a server in MvM without -maxplayers 32 it spams
the console with the message:-

second wasting machine resources.

You mean SRV support? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record )
I don't think srcds/goldsrc engine currently support it, it's a would be
nice feature :)
One thing you could do, is set an A record on the domain and do:
tf2.mygameserve
And since the clients most likely never run with a cl_updaterate above 100,
a sys_ticrate above 100 is useless as they won't receive new positions more
often.

So if I make an A record for a subdomain, example:
subdomain.lanified.com -> record type A -> 255.255.255.255:65535
it will direct traffic accessing that (sub)domain to that specific port?

The good thing about DNS is that, apart from CNAME, it's one-to-many. So in
theory, assuming hypothetical DNS support on Source, you could set up 20 SRV
records for the same subdomain, and if the user adds that to their favourites
they then get a grouped list of all your servers.
